[QUOTE="Cam, post: 269577, member: 568"] I don't mean to get into a flame war, but don't make any assumptions about me. I graduated two years ago. I am still an active student in one of the PhD programs. My experiences in undergrad were very positive. The classes were tough, but they were fair. You mostly got out of the class that you put into it. I, like you, busted my *** and didn't complain. Hence why I gave an example of a student from Lake Woebegone who didn't do that and didn't gain my pity. Sure there was one professor who showed up drunk to class the few times he didn't just make his TA teach. And sure there was the other professor who cared so little for the content he was teaching he'd often forget he had to go teach that day. But those two were mostly there for their high level research. I appreciated professors like yourself that actually did care for students. I learned a lot in their courses and a lot from what I gained visiting them during office hours. My comment about "actively trying to fail" is entirely based off of the comments I see so many say on this board in regard to their experiences decades ago. It was a hyperbole, but it's not an unfair perspective to form based on their testimonies. They make it sound like it used to be a living hell and, like I said in my original post, it's much better now. They've apparently changed their approach because it was a great experience for me. Don't make assumptions about me because of a misunderstood comment. I am a proud alumn and supporter of Georgia Tech. I do whatever I can to spread how great of an Institute it is. If asked about difficulty, I say something similar to you. "It's difficult, but the professors, TAs, and help groups are all there to help you succeed." [/QUOTE]
